A 19-year-old was arrested this week for stabbing her boyfriend not long after she said men should only be used as “human sacrifices.”

Zoe Adams reportedly dressed up as a clown and put a pillow over Kieran Bewick’s face as they were intimate one night. Then she stabbed him five times with a 10-inch knife, reported The Telegraph.

The Telegraph reported that Bewick is afraid of clowns and initially declined incorporating that aspect in the pair’s intimate moments but compromised when Adams suggested putting a pillow on his face.

Adams described the incident, which resulted in Bewick, 17, having a collapsed lung, as an “overreaction.”

"I did stab him but I overreacted," she told the court.

She allegedly took pictures after the incident with the caption “Murder is like a bag of chips: you can't stop after just one.”

The cellphone reportedly also had a text message in it to Bewick that said, “I don't think about males unless said male is strapped up and being used as a human sacrifice, you should be grateful you are not part of it."

Adams later said she didn’t remember the incident and said the text was “a joke.”

During her sentencing, however, Judge James Adkin said her “cruel and sadistic” act was a deliberate attempt to harm Bewick.

Since the attack, Bewick testified that he had trouble sleeping and sustained injuries to his lung.

He said, “I struggle with the knowledge that someone I genuinely cared about would do this to me.”

He continued saying it would scar him for the rest of his life.

"I have always had a fear of clowns and Zoe knew this. This will now only increase my fear of clowns."

Judge Adkin sided with Bewick in the case.

Cumbria police posted on Facebook, “A teenager who repeatedly stabbed a 17-year-old as he lay in her bed has today been jailed for 11-and-a-half years.

“Zoe Adams, 19, of Brindlefield, Wigton, admitted a charge of unlawfully and maliciously wounding the teen with intent to do him grievous bodily harm.

“Detective Constable Calvin Greaves said: “Any assault with a knife has the potential for fatal consequences. In this instance, the young victim of this callous and violent attack has been very fortunate to escape with his life.

“’Adams told officers she blacked out and had no memory of the attack. Her 17-year-old victim is not so fortunate. He will have to live with the physical and mental scars of Adams’ actions for the rest of his life.

“’He has shown great courage throughout the investigation, not least in giving detectives a statement regarding the attack whilst only hours into his recovery.’”
